Walter was farming - Maggie had six children, 4 survived. They had been married 12 years.
The surviving children are Listed as Follows:
1. Eva, daughter born July 1889
2. James, born January 1894
3. Estelle, born October 1887
4. Walter born Octobert 1898 Now this is where it gets interesting.
Nannie Ellis born August 1885 is listed as a daughter. this ends the page on the following page
Elsie Blidsoe, daughter born June 1892
Quintus Blidsoe, son born May 1894
Lina S. Blidsoe daughter born Jan 1896
Henry Blidsoe, son born May 1898
The family under Henry Blidsoe is Beatrice Poindexter. The point being, these children are listed as sons and daughters of Walterand Maggie Ellis. Could Blidsoe be Birdsong? I think there is that possibility, and that these are children of Walter's father William Ellis. It is also interesting to note, that Nannie Ellis listed as daughter, appears as a sister in to Walter Lee Ellis in 1910.
